I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

The city was not fully awake in the early morning. The thin mist slowly receded along the streets, and trees outside the car window swept past one after another, with dappled morning light filtering through the branches and leaves.

"What a beautiful day," Lin Zhou said with a smile as he sat in his seat.

He then looked at the driver's seat, where Bai Wanwan was gripping the steering wheel, her face expressionless.

"Why do I have to drive?" Bai Wanwan said, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

"There's no other way, my leg injury flared up again, Wanwan, I can only rely on you," Lin Zhou said.

Sometimes Lin Zhou felt incredibly clever, perfectly resolving the bad outcome by simply sitting alone in the back seat. Besides, he could still bring up his previous fracture, and the old Audi A8 he was driving didn't have intelligent driving assistance.

perfect.

Perfect.

That's exactly how it should be!

The ending of the dream involving a wood-cutter's knife is impossible!

Luo Xiaoke laughed when she heard Bai Wanwan's complaint, "Wanwan, it seems like you haven't driven in a long time, right? How about I help you?"

"I can drive," Bai Wanwan said. To her, there seemed to be no difference between sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

Anyway, Lin Zhou went to the back seat.

"That's great! I'll sit in the back with Zhouzhou~" Luo Xiaoke said slowly.

Bai Wanwan: "?!"

ha?

"Didn't you say you wanted to sit in the front passenger seat..." Bai Wanwan looked at Luo Xiaoke, "Didn't you say you got carsick?"

"Yes, but if I get carsick sitting in the back, I can hold Zhouzhou!" Luo Xiaoke said. "Zhouzhou's body is so warm to hold."

As she spoke, she smiled at Lin Zhou, "Right, right~"

Lin Zhou inexplicably recalled the feeling of his arm sinking completely into two loaves of bread filled with cheese; it was indeed very warm.

"Wanwan, you don't understand at all," Luo Xiaoke said.

"I understand."

"You don't understand~" Luo Xiaoke continued.

Bai Wanwan took a deep breath. Hearing Luo Xiaoke's soft, sweet voice, she almost wanted to slam on the brakes. "I understand, I understand... It's not like I've never hugged someone before!"

"Oh? When? When you were little?"

"Every...ever...no...I forgot, but anyway, there was." Bai Wanwan usually doesn't talk much. Although she is quick-witted, she doesn't like to talk. But every time she is provoked by Luo Xiaoke, she can't help but speak more and more.

Of course, Bai Wanwan wouldn't mention that she often climbed in through the window in the middle of the night.

Thanks to Lin Zhou's deep sleep at night, Bai Wanwan was able to indulge in his scent without being discovered.

"Okay~ then I'll sit in the back," Luo Xiaoke said.

"no."

"What are you doing, Wanwan?"

"They didn't stop along the way."

"Okay~"

After a noisy and chaotic journey to the academy, Lin Zhou and his companions had just parked their car when they spotted a familiar figure not far away.

A short-haired girl was leaning against a pink mini car, leisurely drinking a can of soda.

Her short, jet-black hair swayed slightly in the wind, making her eyes, which were the same color, appear even more languid. A loose black knitted cardigan was draped over her school uniform, with the purple bow at the collar slightly askew, as if she hadn't bothered to fix it before leaving the house.

Ye Zhiyu.

fish.

When their eyes met, Ye Zhiyu noticed Lin Zhou and his group, and then slowly raised her soda can as a greeting.

"Yo."

"Small fish?"

Lin Zhou noticed the chopped chili fish head behind her and couldn't help but remind her, "Don't lean against other people's cars, you'll get it dirty."

"Am I dirty?" Ye Zhiyu twisted her body, revealing the perfect curve of her buttocks. "My skirt is perfectly clean."

Is this the problem?

Ye Zhiyu paused in her soda-drinking motion, her pinkish-purple eyes glancing sideways as if she were looking at someone lacking common sense.

"That's really rude of you, this is my car."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted the steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers behind her, "Isn't it cool?"

"It's a shame you bought another car." Lin Zhou and the others seemed unsurprised, looking at the brightly colored, repainted pink and purple chopped pepper fish head. "You could just drive a car; at least it's safer than a motorcycle."

Ye Zhiyu put her hands on her hips with a half-smile and said, "Of course, my car is very safe."

They happened to run into Ye Zhiyu, and the group headed towards the classroom together. Since they had already eaten breakfast, they didn't go to the cafeteria.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, a slightly familiar-looking girl appeared in the corridor not far away, which made Lin Zhou freeze.

She was a slender, fair-skinned, and beautiful girl with long, straight black hair.

Lin Zhou's expression faltered for a moment upon seeing the other person, because he recognized him—

One of his ex-girlfriends.

The moment their perspectives met, the other person's cool eyes held little emotion, but instead spoke, "Good morning, Lin Zhou."

"Good morning... Qinglin."

"Hmm." Compared to Lin Zhou's nervousness, the other person's expression didn't change much, as if they had no emotions at all, and they just casually greeted a classmate they knew.

When the girl's gaze fell on Bai Wanwan and the others, she seemed to want to say something, but then stopped and left expressionlessly.

The two brushed past each other, but the other person didn't turn around. Their steps were slow, and their backs looked cold.

"..." Lin Zhou fell silent.

"Yoooooooo~ That girl, isn't she Lin Zhou's ex-girlfriend Shi Qinglin?" Ye Zhiyu put her hands behind her head, looking like she was watching a show. "She's pretty, but not quite as beautiful as me."

"I think it's prettier than the little fish~"

"Tsk, nonsense."

As the group chatted casually, Lin Zhou didn't say much. Instead, Bai Wanwan spoke up, "Lin Zhou."

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"You're smitten?" Bai Wanwan asked expressionlessly. Compared to Shi Qinglin's cold and emotionless demeanor, Bai Wanwan had a different kind of adorable coldness. Even though she had no expression, she could still sense the other person's emotional fluctuations.

Seeing the other person staring intently at him, Lin Zhou simply scratched his face with his finger. "What do you mean, 'moved'...didn't we break up?"

He had only been dating that girl for a month, and they hadn't even had any intimate contact before he was dumped.

Speaking of which—

The process of getting to know each other is also a bit different.

Lin Zhou still doesn't know why he was dumped.

Bai Wanwan said, "I'm cute too."

"Huh? What did you just say out of the blue?" Lin Zhou was taken aback.

Of course you're cute.

"Do you understand...?" Before Lin Zhou could finish speaking, Ye Zhiyu kicked him from behind. "Alright, quiet down."

After the group returned to the classroom, Lin Zhou and Bai Wanwan walked into Class A side by side. Just then, several students in the class were chattering noisily, "Hey, Lin Zhou, did you know that Yang Shou'er dropped out of school?"

"Expelled from school? Wasn't he just disciplined yesterday? It's just a suspension of studies, right?" Lin Zhou asked curiously.
